It is a dedicated CW transceiver for the HAM bands and does some tuning outside these band for reception but nog good enough to be a full coverage AM receiver. I would go for a low cost SW receiver like the Sony 7600 types. (no longer sold but 2nd hand or look alikes from Aldi) vy 73 de Johan, PA3ANG Hello Claudio,

Your article about the Elecraft reads very good. I want kindly ask you for advice. I am a German SWL. Have heard and confirmed all actual DXCC list countries and now I am interested in receiving broadcast and other stations. Is the Elecraft good for AM reception ? I also would travel with the radio because it looks so nice portable. Which model of Elecraft can you recommend for my purpose ? When I say broadcast / utility recep- tion I mean the entire frequency range between mediumwave and 30 Mhz. The rig should be second hand in very good condition.How much can I pay for it ? I look forward to receiving your answer. Thanks a lot in advance. 73 Claudio. Hello Johan.

My set up is basically the same except that I use a buddistick and all my ham work has been in local parks. Best of Luck. Nice set up for QRP.

But also on a holiday to the Caribbean I took the KX1 with me. You can find a special page describing that here.
